THE "CREDIT MAN'S" WORK.
Bow Basinewi Hoam Protect Thcmaclvea
Agwlnat Lom.
Tho functions of a credit man are
not generally known to the public,
but he is in many respects the most
important person employed by a
mercantile concern. Briefly, he is
Supposed to be informed regarding
tho commercial standing of every
firm or individual with whom his
owu house has any dealings, and
the linn for which he works lias the
exclusive benefit of his investiga- j
tions. his knowledge and his exneri- I
euco. It does not trust to him alone,
of course, because in the case of a
large house there would be rathor
more than he could attend to. The i
regular mercantile agencies aro depended
upon for a certain amount
of information, usually that which
concerns the oldest and richest corporations,
about whose solvency
there is commonly no question.
The credit man may, however, if
his employers suspeet a necessity
for it, be called upon to probe still
further than the regular agencies
go, in order to make assurance
doubly sure.
When a would be buyer from
porno remote part of the country
presents himself to a firm to which
he is entirely unknown, he is introduced
at once to the credit man.
Tho latter receives whatever credentials
the stranger has to offer,
and if he is satisfied that the house
will run no risk in selling to him he
states the l'aot. and his judgment is
accepted.
Various considerations determine
the amount of security which a new
customer is required to show, and
not infrequently it is stipulated that
he shall have a real estate backing
which is known to be responsible.
The credit man also figures out at
once the largest amount of credit
which can be granted to the new
buyer, this being determined according
to the figure at which he is
rated.
Subsequently, as ho runs up bills
for goods, they all pass under the
credit man's watchful eye, and if it
is found that the customer is close
upon his credit limit the last purchase
is often held until it is proved
to a certainty that its delivery will
entail no loss to the firm. This process
of keeping track of every buyer's
limit imposes a never ending
task upon the credit man, and it is
one which requires delicate handling
too. While great caution is
necessary, there must be as few
needless suspicions as possible, for
tnese are orien ine means 01 urivmg
away perfectly trustworthy customers,
who feel themselves insulted by
the reflection upon their financial
methods.
In cases ^vhere there is ground
for believing that a customer will
bear watching, the credit man's investigations
are very thorough. Ho
inquires as to the private affairs of
the buyer in question, finds out as
nearly as possible tho amount of bis
income and how his money is invested
and keepB an eye as well
upon the way in which he lives and
spends. With every precaution,
however, there are many losses,
and it is the business of the annual
convention of credit men to discover
better ways each year of protecting
mercantile interests.?New York
Tribune.
The Chnreh of Knglnd.
From the Year Book just issued
by the church of England it appear?
that the income which comes to it
from property owned, ancient endowments
and regular government

thing over ?5,750,000, yet the ex-1
pense of the church amounted last [
year to more than twice that sum,
the difference baring been made up
by voluntary contributions. In
commenting on this state of affairs,
one of the London papers says:
"Thus we see that even now the in?,
come which the church draws from
her own property is only about half
what she requires, while it is notorious
that many of her clergy are
still miserably underpaid and that
in some large cities her resources
are quite unequal to the demands
made upon them. To suppose that
in the case of disendowment another
?5,000,000 would be at onco
forthcoming from private contributions
is little less than absurd.
Much of what is given to the church
now is given to her just because she
is what she is, the established
church of the nation, with the
many recommendations and advantages
which she would no longer
possess if disestablished." Here is
an argument that stands up strong
and tall until one remembers that
churches unaided by the state get
along quite well in England as elsewhere,
though their supporters are
forced to contribute also to the revenues
of the establishment.?New
York Times.

machine invented that records the
